Crab Salad on Cucumber

Posted on by under Cooking

This recipe is very easy to make, fast, healthy and extremely tasty. Works also for anybody on diet, like my family. On the original recipe I found at http://www.pbs.org/food/fresh-tastes/crab-salad-in-cucumber-cups/ I’ve added just 2 tbsp light mayo. Next time I will substitute the crab with canned tuna or smoked salmon.

Potato and leeks soup

Posted on by under Cooking

I don’t know if it’s because of the winter or is just me, but I decided to go for another soup. This time I choose a soup from one of the blogs I follow and admire, Sara Makes Soup. I change few things in the recipe since all my family is on some sort of diet. My ingredients are as follows:

  • 2 tbsp bacon bits
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 3 green onions, diced
  • 1 giant round garlic clove, minced
  • 4 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 parsley root
  • 3 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1.5 L Chicken Stock
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 1 sweet potato, chopped into 1″ cubes
  • 1 sprig of thyme, washed
  • 1 cup of 2% milk
  • meat from 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into cubs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • some parsley, chopped.
